I still haven’t invested any time into learning WordPress since I started blogging again, but I imagine I’ll do it when I care enough to do it. I’m sure it will be interesting to learn about all the features and techniques I have no clue about right now. Anyway, I’m going to find a few arts in Google photos that I want to share, since all I’ve done lately is a linocut xmas card that didn’t turn out too well, and some pencil and pen doodles. Peace and Love, be excellent to each other. P.S. Actually, here’s a pencil thing I did yesterday while watching a zoom illustration workshop, based on the photos that the person shared.
I still plan on doing the class from the replay, but I didn’t have what I needed ready (the drawing or tracing of the three doors, and paint set up and a good pen (where is my good waterproof black ink pen?).
This is interesting. This is a painting (self-portrait) my mom did when she was a teenager, and one I made of myself from (maybe around) five years after I was the same age. I really think my mom would have excelled if she went back to art school (she attended an art technical college for a minute in L.A. before life got in the way, (when she was in her early twenties). If I could go back in time, I would encourage and support her to do that after my dad died (or sooner), because I think (even though I love making art and sometimes it’s all I want to/wish I could do) that being an artist was her dream much more than it was mine. And I could do something more suited for me at the time (and more financially rewarding) like go to cosmetology school, or trade school for carpentry or plumbing, which are things I actually had a strong interest in. Moms shouldn’t have to give up their dreams because they have kids; though I’m ever grateful that she brought so much creativity into our lives, I wish I could have supported her in achieving her own.
